Problem with installing EG

Post by mtf »

Hello,
I'm trying to install EG (0.3.5c, 0.3.5b) on Vista (x64 sp1), but when EG starts first, I see only a error msg.
Have somebody an idea, where is the problem? (sorry for my english:-)
Here is the EvenGhost.exe.log:

F**k Vista. :|

Are you running it with an administrator account? Do you have tried to set this "XP compatibility" option in the properties of the EG shortcut?

Yes, I've tried to run EG as admin and with XP compatibility, but with the same result :(

Could you please look with regedit what you have under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders].

Do you have used any tools to change any folder locations (like TweakUI)?

Oh, I just saw, that you are using the old 0.3.5. Try the latest beta.
